I am a physician assistant who has an interest in teaching.  I have acquired a lot of clinical experience over the years and feel I have a lot to offer to students entering the profession.  The health care profession keeps growing  and the trend towards medical specialization keeps growing, which means there will be more practitioners needed, and they have to keep up with developments in their areas.  Things have certainly changed since I first entered the profession.

I found a distance learning school that looks like it has what I need.  The Arizona School of Health Sciences Online Programs include a Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies, which has an Education and Leadership track that is intended for those in the profession who want to become educators.  I don’t think someone who is a good clinician is necessarily a good teacher.  There are different skills required, and you need to be trained properly for each.

A friend of mine took an Advanced Occupational Therapy Online program at the same school and came away very pleased with her experience.  She didn’t have to leave her job to take her classes, and neither will I.  I’m eager to start the program.

I got together recently with a good friend who is a certified ethical hacker, which isn’t the bad kind of hacker, but someone who is employed by a company to utilize the same methods a malicious hacker might to penetrate the company’s system. His job is to figure out a way to find and fix any of the holes that may exist in the system that would leave vital information unprotected and vulnerable to attack from either inside or outside sources wishing to abuse the information. He is good at what he does and is considered a major asset as a safeguard for the company.

He was telling me some good information for other professionals that I thought I’d pass along for anyone who is interested. He said a really important certification that companies are always clamoring for their employees or prospective employees to have is the Certified Information Systems Security Professional, or CISSP, certification. To get this certification that is in such high demand, qualified candidates must take and successfully pass the rigorous CISSP exam. It covers a multitude of areas drawing from what is called a common body of knowledge, to test on the ten areas of interest involved in CISSP work, also referred to as the ten domains.

He said it’s no easy task to learn all you need to know for this test, and recommended the Shon harris book for anyone who wants to take it. He also said that while it isn’t a total breeze, having the knowledge will surely pay dividends for anyone who takes the time to acquire it.

If you have never applied for cash advance payday loans there are some terms that may be a bit confusing. Having a good understanding of just the basics will help you decide if this type of loan is right for you, plus you can always ask specific questions if something doesn’t seem clear in the contract or agreement you are signing.

The first thing that you have to know is the type of loan you are applying for. A payday loan provides immediate cash that will be paid off, usually in full, when your next paycheck arrives. This is usually set at no longer than one month from the date of borrowing. You will need to provide a copy of your pay stub to provide employment and you will also need to have a valid, current residential address. A debt consolidation loan may also provide cash, but it will also combine all your outstanding debts into one payment that may or may not decrease the total amount of the monthly payment. A bad credit credit card will provide you with access to limited amounts of credit that can be paid back over time, however usually the interest rate will be higher than either a traditional credit card or a payday loan.
